Slither-read-storage

Slither-read-storage is a tool to retrieve the storage slots and values of entire contracts or single variables.

Usage

CLI Interface

positional arguments:
  contract_source       The deployed contract address if verified on etherscan. Prepend project directory for unverified contracts.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --variable-name VARIABLE_NAME
                        The name of the variable whose value will be returned.
  --rpc-url RPC_URL     An endpoint for web3 requests.
  --key KEY             The key/ index whose value will be returned from a mapping or array.
  --deep-key DEEP_KEY   The key/ index whose value will be returned from a deep mapping or multidimensional array.
  --struct-var STRUCT_VAR
                        The name of the variable whose value will be returned from a struct.
  --storage-address STORAGE_ADDRESS
                        The address of the storage contract (if a proxy pattern is used).
  --contract-name CONTRACT_NAME
                        The name of the logic contract.
  --json JSON           Save the result in a JSON file.
  --value               Toggle used to include values in output.
  --table               Print table view of storage layout
  --silent              Silence log outputs
  --max-depth MAX_DEPTH
                        Max depth to search in data structure.
  --block BLOCK         The block number to read storage from. Requires an archive node to be provided as the RPC url.
  --unstructured        Include unstructured storage slots

Examples

Retrieve the storage slots of a local contract:

slither-read-storage file.sol 0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d8 --json storage_layout.json

Retrieve the storage slots of a contract verified on an Etherscan-like platform:

slither-read-storage 0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d8 --json storage_layout.json

To retrieve the values as well, pass --value and --rpc-url $RPC_URL:

slither-read-storage 0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d8 --json storage_layout.json --rpc-url $RPC_URL --value

To view only the slot of the slot0 structure variable, pass --variable-name slot0:

slither-read-storage 0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d8 --variable-name slot0 --rpc-url $RPC_URL --value

To view a member of the slot0 struct, pass --struct-var tick

slither-read-storage 0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d8 --variable-name slot0 --rpc-url $RPC_URL --value --struct-var tick

Retrieve the ERC20 balance slot of an account:

slither-read-storage 0xa2327a938Febf5FEC13baCFb16Ae10EcBc4cbDCF --variable-name balances --key 0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b

To retrieve the actual balance, pass --variable-name balances and --key 0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b. (balances is a mapping(address => uint)) Since this contract uses the delegatecall-proxy pattern, the proxy address must be passed as the --storage-address. Otherwise, it is not required.

slither-read-storage 0xa2327a938Febf5FEC13baCFb16Ae10EcBc4cbDCF --variable-name balances --key 0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b --storage-address 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 --rpc-url $RPC_URL --value

Troubleshooting/FAQ

  • If the storage slots or values of a contract verified Etherscan are wrong, try passing --contract $CONTRACT_NAME explicitly. Otherwise, the storage may be retrieved from storage slots based off an unrelated contract (Etherscan includes these). (Also, make sure that the RPC is for the correct network.)

  • If Etherscan fails to return a source code, try passing --etherscan-apikey $API_KEY to avoid hitting a rate-limit.

  • How do I use this tool on other chains? If an EVM chain has an Etherscan-like platform the crytic-compile supports, this tool supports it by making the following modifications. Take Avalanche, for instance:

    slither-read-storage avax:0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 --json storage_layout.json --value --rpc-url $AVAX_RPC_URL

Limitations

  • Requires source code.
  • Only works on Solidity contracts.
  • Cannot find variables with unstructured storage.
  • Does not support all data types (please open an issue or PR).
  • Mappings cannot be completely enumerated since all keys used historically are not immediately available.
